Happy slapping election stylee – your Friday links in full

The 6th May is only 26 sleeps away. We can hardly believe it either. It doesn’t sound like much but, if like us, you find the cranked up electioneering is already starting to grate, you might like to vent your frustration as you count down the days by slapping the party leaders about a bit, we found it most cathartic. MRM is only sorry not to see Nick Griffin and Lord Pearson up there ready to take a pasting, too.

Now MRM covers the whole spectrum of political colouring from deepest red to the truest blue and every shade of yellow and green in between, so we’re not showing any political bias in flagging up the next link, promise, it just makse us giggle, that’s all… See Brown’s close shave with a potentially disastrous picture opp here.

Arrrrgh, those pesky pixels are out to get us and they’ll stop at nothing. Just look what they’ve done to New York for crying out loud, sheesh! [Mutters to collective self: We were fools to think that they’d ever stop at just monkeying with our Twitter pics, making us all Kryten look-e-likees when the image is enlarged…it is clear to see now they are out for world domination, one pixel at a time…]

They’re not the only ones with mischief on their minds, check out these strangely hypnotic teddy bears by online animator Cyriak Harris.

There’s skulduggery afoot here, make no mistake. Pixels, Teddies and sleight of hand card tricks, what is the world coming to, eh? Just as well it’s nearly the weekend, all these glimpses into alternative realities is enough to make your brain ache; we’re off to lie in a darkened room and contemplate life…
